Hold on to your pink bows: The insanely popular Hello Kitty Cafe Truck is returning to Santana Row on March 25.

And if you wonder why this merits any notice at all, you probably missed the truck’s last appearance at the swanky San Jose shopping center in April 2015 when hundreds of people lined up and waited for hours so they could buy a treat from the rolling cutemobile.

The truck, dolled up in pink and festooned with the popular feline character’s image, will be parked outside Sino restaurant from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The treats available include a three-piece Hello Kitty cookie set, a box of rainbow macaroons that includes a surprise Sanrio character design, a four-pack of mini cakes and even bow-shaped bottles of water. You can also buy a pink T-shirt, a bow headband or a Hello Kitty Cafe mug that’ll surely make you the talk of the office.

So if you missed it last time around, here’s your chance to join the crowds. Or if the thought of that much pink and cuteness makes you want to run screaming, consider yourself warned.

SOBRATOS DONATE $25 MILLION TO SCHOOLS: Great news for prospective students in the Diocese of San Jose’s Drexel School System, which includes St. Patrick School and Holy Spirit School in San Jose and St. Claire School in Santa Clara. John A. Sobrato and SueSobrato are providing the schools with a $25 million gift earmarked for scholarships.

The funds come from a bequest through the Sobrato Family Foundation and will establish the Sobrato Family Scholars Fund to support elementary school students who want to attend a Drexel School but can’t afford it. The Diocese of San Jose and the Catholic elementary schools of Santa Clara County plan to create a Drexel Scholars Fund so other donors can match the Sobrato contribution and double the number of available scholarships.

STAGE NOTES: Eva and ErikaSandoval, the 2½ year-old twins who were born conjoined, were given a farewell party at Stanford last week, where they were discharged after pediatric surgeon Gary Hartman and a team of 50 successfully separated the girls. Coincidentally, the story of two other conjoined twins — 1930s vaudeville stars Daisy and Violet Hilton — is on stage not far away in Los Altos Hills, where Foothill Music Theatre is producing the revival of the Broadway musical, “Side Show.”

After hearing about the Sandovals, director Milissa Carey invited Hartman to attend one of their performances, and he’ll be in the audience Thursday night. Of course, you don’t have to be a famous doctor to see the show, which runs through Sunday at Foothill College’s Lohman Theatre.

Meanwhile, Palo Alto Players isn’t fooling around — well, maybe a little — with its April 1 gala, “Make ‘Em Laugh.” A cast of performers that includes AndrewCeglio, JulietGreen, DerekMcCaw, PattyReinhart and DougSantana will entertain the crowd with scenes from “Young Frankenstein,” “Greater Tuna,” “Monty Python’s Spamalot” and more.

Palo Alto Players also will be honoring a trio who have been instrumental: Board President EugenieM. Watson, who has been volunteering with Palo Alto Players for the past 43 years; GrantHuberty, who has been the sound designer on nearly 30 productions since 1999; and Mary LouiseJohnson, a longtime philanthropist for the arts in Palo Alto. Tickets for the gala at the Mitchell Park Community Center, starting at $100, are available at www.paplayers.org/gala-2017.
